Royal Style and Beauty - what goes in the Bold Tower? White stilettos, green coats and too much of the flower?

We're over here!
Welcome one, welcome all!

I picked up a skirt like hers at New Look, but in black, last year on the sale. I haven't worn it yet but as I said to DH - a sparkly pencil skirt is always a useful item to have in your cupboard, especially when it only cost £15! And agree, a sleeveless top works well with it. Hopefully mine will get an outing this Christmas.

I just read that Mohamed Al-Fayed died last week.

Harry does look as if he's wearing someone else's clothes.

Agree with the sparkly skirt and vest top on Meghan - she looks great in that picture even with the blur.

Fair enough killing

just seemed odd that the one moment in time when everyone else seemed to be loving that particular moment that he wasn’t…. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ll wind my neck and chins in 😌

They'll always be the one shot in a thousand that makes the $$$ re Harry and others

Yes, and the tabloids like to push the story that he's bored/unhappy 🥱

Anyway, here is more Swedish bling from the royal treasury.

I know we've got some new posters on here, so don't forget to claim some bling for the Spreadsheet of Splendour! Also, a green coat.
Anything else?

Shoes.

I will not be having espadrilles 😏

😂
I'll have the espadrilles, they flatter my Nosferatu feet 😊

I think he isn’t happy about being photographed. It’s a single shot that supports a media narrative, there is also a video that shows him in a different light.

Those Swedish crowns look like crowns out of fairytales!

They do exquisite

They look edible 😊

That does indeed look like the Royal Artichoke Crown on the right.

And here's a few shots of the state apartments. Similar to Buckingham Palace except that the Swedes aren't precious about the plebs taking photos!

Wow those chandeliers

Perhaps less a fear of plebs and more that people may scrutinise security arrangements by photographing or filming certain areas and studying them. Same with the Vatican.

I don't think we can judge based on one still photo!

Of course we can't. I have often thought that the hardest part of being in the public eye is not having a perfect "resting face." No human can smile or look happy all the time. Just look at so many photos of the late Queen.

lovely pictures @KillingMeDeftly 👑

Stockholm is a lovely city - I highly recommend it!

I'm thinking about going to the Crown to Couture exhibition - sure some of you lovely lot have been. Would you recommend? 😊

Is that the one at Kensington Palace? I haven't been but a friend has and she highly recommends it.

I'd love to see these exhibitions on tour. Say Scotland and Wales as well as London. Though with my luck it would be Cardiff and London is easier to reach.

The late Queen's sparkling sapphires, a gift from her father. Lovely picture of her when young.

Beautiful photos of the sapphires.
